Jul 8, 2009
Bermuda, Canada and USA maintained its winning streak on Day Two of
the ICC Americas U/19 Regional Qualifier in Toronto on Tuesday. With
only two places available to progress to the ICC Global Qualifier,
the three teams will soon begin to feel the pressure and that could
come as early as Wednesday when Bermuda tangles with USA.

Ryan
Corns was named man of the match for his explosive 58 from
40 balls.

Results:
Cayman Islands v Bermuda:Bermuda
skipper Regino Smith (34) and Man of the Match Deunte Darrell (33)
top-scored for their side to post a modest but formidable target of
218-9 in their 50 overs. Skipper Ramon Sealy was the pick of the bowlers
for Cayman Islands with figures of 3-16.

Cayman Islands,
in reply could only manage a modest 103 all out with Bermuda?s Joshua
Gilbert taking 3-25. The top scorer was Darren Cato with only 14
runs as Bermuda cruised to a 115-run victory.

Bahamas
v CanadaElecting
to bat first, Bahamas found the Canadian bowling difficult to get
away with and even though they defended well they were unable to
force the bowlers off the line and were all out for 118. Orlando
Stuart scored an impressive 31 for his team. Canada?s Nitesh Kumar
captured 3-18 while Riayzhan Pathan took 2-19 and Hiral Patel finished
with 2-27.

Canada was once
again impressive in the chase as its top order ensured a good opening.
Patel (79) posted another half century, his second in two matches
to help his side post the required runs in 16.3 overs. He was the
obvious pick for Man of the Match as Canada coasted to a nine-wicket
victory.

Argentina
v USAUSA put
on a stellar performance once again to record an easy nine-wicket
victory over Argentina. The boys from South America batted first
and despite a fine innings of 35 by skipper Alejo Tissera, the team
was all out for a modest score of just 116 in 34 overs. Talha Zamir
was impressive with his 4-21 and was the top bowler for USA.

In reply, Man
of the Match Ryan Corns scored an explosive 58 not out in 40 balls
which included eight fours and two sixes and was ably supported
by Henry Wardley, top run-getter from the last game, who scored
37. Argentina?s poor bowling performance cost it dearly as USA achieved
the set total in just 13.2 overs.
